The rotation of the Earth is from west to east (the sun rises in the east) and if your right hand points to the east, north is then in front of you (south is behind you). Or, you could also tell by continent. North America and Eurasia are in the northern hemisphere, Africa and South America are partly in the northern, and partly in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia is entirely in the southern hemisphere.
